Abstract
A wireless intraluminal device (102) and an associated system for treating and diagnosing patients are provided. In one embodiment, the wireless intraluminal device (102) includes a flexible elongate member (158) including a proximal portion (106) and a distal portion (108); a sensor assembly (116) coupled to the distal portion of the flexible elongate member; a cable (117) coupled to the sensor assembly and extending along the flexible elongate member; and a wireless transceiver (252) positioned within the flexible elongate member, wherein the wireless transceiver is in communication with the sensor assembly via the cable. A wireless communication component (104) wirelessly transmits a sensor measurement collected by the sensor assembly to a sensor measurement processing system (132) via a wireless link (150) for physiological data generation at the sensor measurement processing system.
